Some single malts shout. Bunnahabhain never has to. The 2025 Edition of the 12 Year Old Cask Strength is a masterclass in balance and authenticity, created from a careful combination of first, second and refill Oloroso sherry casks. Matured for 12 years on the north-eastern shores of Islay, this unpeated single malt reflects the maritime climate, clear spring water, and uncompromising spirit that define Bunnahabhain.
Inspired by the tradition of tasting straight from the cask in the distillery’s coastal warehouses, this limited annual release presents Bunnahabhain in its purest form: non-chill filtered, natural colour, and bottled at its full strength of 56.4% ABV. For 2025, Master Blender Julieann Fernandez has chosen predominantly second-fill Oloroso casks, lending subtle sherry influence and layered complexity without overwhelming the distillate.
A whisky for those who appreciate finesse over force, it shines neat or with a few drops of water to reveal its creamy, floral depths.
Tasting Notes (Bunnahabhain Distillery)
Nose: Golden raisins and apricots with toasted nuts and a light floral note.
Palate: Malty sweetness, soft oak and dried fruit with sultanas, hazelnuts and gentle spice.
Finish: Lingering oak spice and light tobacco, with a touch of sea salt and cocoa powder.
Bunnahabhain 18 Year Old is a benchmark Islay single malt, celebrated for its balance, richness, and coastal character. Unlike many of its island neighbours, it is unpeated, allowing the influence of sherry casks and the sea air to shine through.
On the nose, aromas of dried fruits, roasted nuts, and sweet toffee are joined by gentle oak spice. The palate is full and velvety, unfolding layers of dark chocolate, caramel, and malt sweetness, lifted by a subtle touch of brine that reflects the distillery’s shoreline warehouses. The long finish is warming and elegant, with lingering notes of fruitcake, spice, and a whisper of sea salt.
Matured for nearly two decades, this whisky has earned its place as a true classic, offering complexity and refinement that continues to captivate both seasoned collectors and those discovering Bunnahabhain for the first time.
We are pleased to offer this Bunnahabhain that was bottled exclusively for Lonach. Distilled in 1969, this whisky has aged in oak casks before being bottled in 2010.

Chances are there wasn't collaboration, communication, and checkpoints, there wasn't a process agreed upon or specified with the granularity required. It's content strategy gone awry right from the start. Forswearing the use of Lorem Ipsum wouldn't have helped, won't help now. It's like saying you're a bad designer, use less bold text, don't use italics in every other paragraph. True enough, but that's not all that it takes to get things back on track.
The villagers are out there with a vengeance to get that Frankenstein
You made all the required mock ups for commissioned layout, got all the approvals, built a tested code base or had them built, you decided on a content management system, got a license for it or adapted:
This is quite a problem to solve, but just doing without greeking text won't fix it. Using test items of real content and data in designs will help, but there's no guarantee that every oddity will be found and corrected. Do you want to be sure? Then a prototype or beta site with real content published from the real CMS is needed—but you’re not going that far until you go through an initial design cycle.
